I can see cfmama's and a few others but everyone else's is just a red x in the middle of a square. Bugging the crap out of me! Did I miss a memo somewhere?

This biography gives us an outlaw that only Dr. Phil could love.
There's a theory that historical movies reveal as much about the era in which they are made as they do about the time they represent. Viewers will find plenty of fodder to bolster that stance in "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford."
Beyond the fact that the title gives away the ending -- talk about your classic bad idea -- it doesn't really reflect what the movie is about. A better title might have been "Jesse James in the Age of Pop Therapy."
As portrayed by Brad Pitt, the legendary criminal is conflicted and manic-depressive, swinging radically between moods while trying to exorcise personal demons. By this telling, James wouldn't have had to rob banks if he'd just been able to go into analysis.
Are we overfocusing on this element of the film? Probably, but that's the fault of writer/director Andrew Dominik. Hampered by tortoiselike pacing and flat acting, the film manages to make armed robbery and gunfights boring. By default, the psychological subtext is the most interesting part.
The story takes place after the bank robbery in Northfield, Minn. (which is not shown, but is mentioned). The James Gang splits up after that heist, with Jesse and his older brother, Frank, riding south while the rest of the gang goes west, where a posse eventually catches up with them.
As the story opens, Frank (Sam Shepard in an extended cameo) and Jesse have put together a new gang and are preparing to rob a train. The recruits are wet-behind-the-ears punks who make Frank nervous. He figures that it's only a matter of time before they do something stupid that results in them all getting arrested or shot.
A case in point is Robert Ford (Casey Affleck), whose notion of being a crook comes from the crime stories he loves to read. Frank can't stand Ford or his romanticized ignorance. His sense of dread is so strong that he tells Jesse that he's retiring right after the train job.
But Jesse likes Ford. And why not? The wannabe gunslinger follows him around like an Old West version of Mini-Me. He dresses like Jesse, walks like Jesse, even tries to smoke the same cigars as Jesse. He's the ultimate flunky, willing to do any job no matter how demeaning just to stay in Jesse's good graces.
The bulk of the narrative involves Jesse's insecurities. He plans multiple robberies, but he can't work up the nerve to attempt any of them. With his erratic behavior -- one minute he's threatening to shoot any member of the gang who looks sideways, the next he's lavishing expensive gifts upon them -- his devotees gradually drift away until only Ford remains loyal. Or so Jesse thinks.
Dominik (the Aussie thriller "Chopper") handcuffs the talented cast. Pitt embraces Jesse's charismatic side, but never gets a chance to fully explore his darker persona. Likewise, Affleck toys with showing depth, but never delivers. Even the veteran Shepard comes off as lackluster, as he, like everyone else, delivers his dialogue in a pseudo-monotone.
The pacing of story doesn't help. With a running time of 2 hours 40 minutes, scenes that are too long start to seem even longer as the movie drags on.
There are intriguing elements. Dominik demonstrates a keen sense of detail, the photography is gorgeous and the psychological element is interesting to ponder. But those things should be in the background.

If I have used my hoses/siphon/bottling bucket with a beer that was contaminated sour, and I cleaned them really thoroughly with PBW and then starsan, will my next batch of beer become contaminated sour?
I've done this and not had a problem. That doesn't mean this is the best proceedure, just that I've been sucessful.
Did u clean it with the same stuff I had? Or did u have Bleach bomb it? I just bottled this weekend so I'm hoping the PBW and starsan did its job
I might have not even cleaned it with anything more than Oxyclean/One Step. I have since switched to Idaphor. But I'm pretty sure it was just cleaned with One Step. And while One Step sanatizes it takes to long at 10 min. Give me a contact sanatizer any day. Star san being a sanatizer should do better than me and Onestep.
Others have said that you should use seperate equipment for sours and regular beer. And it is probably safer. But a yeast is still just a yeast, and should die from the sanatizer all the same. The problems might occur if there are scratches or something - although I have a few mild scratches and no problems there yet either.
Cool thanks AC ill be patient and see how it turns out in a couple weeks

Scott Bakula To Star In 'NCIS' New Orleans Spinoff
CBS has enlisted Scott Bakula to topline its prospective "NCIS" spinoff set in New Orleans.
Bakula will play the special agent who oversees NCIS cases for the Mississippi, Texas and Louisiana region. The planted spinoff is set to air as a two-part episode of the mothership "NCIS" series this spring.
"NCIS" star Mark Harmon and exec producer Gary Glasberg are shepherding the spinoff episodes as exec producers for CBS TV Studios.
Coming off strong reviews for his turns in the TNT dramedy "Men of a Certain Age" and the HBO telepic "Behind the Candelabra" (for which he earned an Emmy nom), Bakula has been busy of late. He has a recurring role on HBO's new dramedy "Looking," and he will be seen in two upcoming features: "Basmati Blues," opposite Brie Larson and Donald Sutherland," and "Elsa and Fred," opposite Shirley MacLaine and Christopher Plummer.
Bakula's repped by ICM Partners, Anonymous Content and attorney Don Steele.

Below are some of the notable comments made Sunday on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos." Guests included wife of former Sen. Ted Kennedy Vicki Kennedy, White House chief of staff Jack Lew, Rep. Paul Ryan, Keith Olbermann, ABC News' George Will, Democratic strategist and ABC News contributor Donna Brazile, former Rep. Artur Davis and "Nightline" co-anchor Terry Moran.
Vicki Kennedy
KENNEDY: This health care reform was the cause of my husband's life. He believed that it was a moral issue, that it defined the character of who we were as a society, who we were as a country, and that decent, quality, affordable health care should be a fundamental right and not a privilege. And now all three branches of our federal government have affirmed that right. And I think if Teddy were here, he would tell us now it's time to roll up our sleeves, get to work, fully implement the law, and move on with the business of our country.
KENNEDY: I think he felt very strongly in health care reform. He had studied this issue for more than 40 years. He believed in it. He believed in its constitutionality. He had looked at it in every way. And I think he would have been pleased, but not surprised.
Jack Lew
LEW: If you look at where we are now versus where we were a couple of years ago, the American people are starting to experience the benefits of this law. For students who are getting out of college and didn't have a job, they can stay on their parents' health plan. For senior citizens who were paying $600 in what was called the donut hole, the Medicare, that's now something that they don't have to pay for. For families with children with pre-existing conditions, they don't have to worry about lifetime limits or about whether those pre-existing conditions means that they won't have insurance. This is something that will provide security and protection for America's families, and they're beginning to see it. They're beginning to experience it. I think that the American people do not want to go back to a divisive debate about health care. The Congress passed the law. The Supreme Court ruled it constitutional. The arguments that are being made now to reopen that fight are the wrong arguments. What we need to be doing is focusing on growing the economy and growing jobs for the middle class.
Jack Lew Refuses to Say Tax
LEW: For that one percent who have chosen not to buy health insurance, and just to pass the burden on to others, there's this penalty.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But you do concede, you keep wanting to use the word penalty. You do concede that the law survived only because Justice Roberts found this to be a tax?
LEW: You know, I – I think if you look at the decision, which is a very complicated one, there are arguments that support different theories. There were… (crosstalk)
STEPHANOPOULOS: But the argument of Chief Justice Roberts is that it's a tax.
LEW: He – He went through the different powers that Congress has and found that there is a power, whatever you call it, to assess a penalty like this.
STEPAHNOPOULOS: He called it a tax.
LEW: (smiling, no response)
STEPHANOPOLOUS: So you're conceding that?
LEW: I'm saying that it was set up as a penalty for people who choose not to buy insurance, even though they can afford it, and for that one percent, we call it fair.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And he calls it a tax. I'm going to move on now at this point.

Rep. Paul Ryan
RYAN: The broken promises and the hypocrisy are becoming breathtaking from the president who says one thing to get this past Congress and then another thing to get it past the Supreme Court. If this was brought to the public as a tax, there's no way this law would have passed into law in the first place. That's what's so frustrating and disappointing with this law.
RYAN: Health care and the economy. Look, this is the most important election in our lifetimes. This ruling — and I guess this was John Roberts' thinking — he raised the stakes of this election higher than it could have been raised. This election is a choice of two futures. Do you want a government-centered society in a government-driven economy and government-rationed health care? Or do you want the American opportunity society with a safety net, a free economy, economic freedom, personal liberty? That's what we want. That's the American idea. We have one more chance as a people to get that back, and that chance is going to come on November the 6th.
RYAN: If you allow the market to work to appeal to consumers — no, but what I would say is, if you take a look at a lot of the comprehensive plans many of us have authored, it does address these things. What I'm trying to tell you, George, is we can address these legitimate problems and needs without a government takeover. I think this, at the end of the day, is a big philosophy difference. What — what Mrs. Kennedy and others were saying is this is new government-granted right. We disagree with the notion that our rights come from government, that the government can now grant us and define our rights. Those are ours. Those come from nature and God, according to the Declaration of Independence, a huge difference in philosophy. And so what we're saying is, there are principles and reforms that we could have passed into law, which we still want to, that address these legitimate problems without putting the government in such a central role in our lives and in our economy, which we think is going to hurt our economy, bring us toward a debt crisis, and — and make the American health care system that much worse.
Powerhouse Roundtable
Keith Olbermann
OLBERMANN: Every day in our lives we are subjected to the largest mandate any of us could ever have. We have to buy a product each day called the United States government. That mandate supplies everything from wars that we don't go along with, to solicitor generals we disagree with, to the salaries of the Supreme Court justices. So I think if you look at this from a layman's point of view, I think it's a pretty clear-cut victory for the president.
George Will
WILL: Three things about Justice Roberts: he's not a fool, he's not a liberal and he's 57. He's going to be here for 20 more years, at least, through three or more presidencies. And he's going to be building upon new ways of circumscribing the latitude of Congress in particular, but the federal government in general.
Donna Brazile
BRAZILE: Obamacare is Romneycare at a federal level. If it's a tax or a penalty in Massachusetts, well, it's a tax or a penalty, because the IRS, if you fail to obtain — opt out of health insurance, then you'll be penalized. Look, tax is one of those — the word tax is something politicians from both sides try to avoid. So maybe we should call it a penalty, call it something else.
Artur Davis
DAVIS: A lot of people know, a lot of low-income people who believe, because of all the political arguments being spend them the last week, well, they think they've got coverage now. They're going to find that if they live in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, where their governors turn it down, they're not insured. Three years from now, they'll have less confidence in government.
Terry Moran
MORAN: if you think that some of Chief Justice Roberts' opinion is logically torturous, read the dissent on striking down the whole law. They plow through lots of precedent in order to do that. But not for the first time here. The big-picture question — not for the first time; George Will is right and Glenn Beck is wrong.

Guys and gals, thought I'd write my first post as a thank you for all the ideas here. I've got a room in the house that does pretty stable at 69F all day all year, but I've been wanting to really hit that temperature control for lower temp brews like Kolsch, etc. Using these posts I made my own lagerator, and so far it works like a charm. The setup is a 1.7cu ft dorm fridge with a 5 gallon water bag inside set at around 36F. The rest is essentially the same: in the bag I've got a 60 GPH pond pump along with return line coming from the keg buckets. I stacked 2 of the buckets and filled the gap between them with big gap foam insulation (took 2 cans, mostly from the big space at the bottom). The return drain comes out the side (just a snug fit in a drilled hole along with some silicone), and is attached on the inside at the required water level (yeah, duct tape). The line from the pump squirts into the bucket above the water level. The pump is hooked to a Ranco controller and the probe is in a ziplok bag taped to the inside of the bucket halfway up the water level. This is the first run, so I don't have a lot of data yet. I filled the bag in the fridge as full as it would go (probably 4+ gallons) and had it as cold as it would go overnight. The next day I put about 2 gallons of water in the bucket and added a couple dozen ice cubes to get the temperature down in the bucket to about 50. I brewed a half batch of Kolsch and put the fermenter in there, and voila the 2 water levels matched. I taped the return tube in the bucket at that water level, and set the Ranco at 62. It rose to 64 fairly quickly, the Ranco flipped on, cold water in, return water drained, and came back down in a minute or so. Even in an 80 degree garage, after settling the wort temp down, the temp holds for about 45 mins before triggering the pump. The styrofoam liner around the gap between buckets probably helps, pretty cool air in there. No idea if it can hold a temp for lagers, but given it's apparent efficiency, if the water in the fridge is cold enough and the beer temp stabilizes, no reason it can't. We'll see. So thanks again everyone for your input, now I can make non-estery beers! Pete
I am very much a fan of this thread. We don't have a lot of square footage in the house, so everything has to go out in the unfinished garage. I've been keeping my current fermenting brew warm in a simple bucket with a 20 dollar aquarium heater. A few years ago I built a Son of Fermentation Chiller, which is good for holding a single carboy. I'd love to make on of these for anytime I needed to be fermenting two at a time. Someone in here had suggested exchanging water with some kind of reservoir tank inside a fridge (where water would presumably be kept around 40 or so), but I'd like to keep everything on the ground. Would I need two pumps — one to pull water from the fridge, the other to pull water from bucket? Has anyone put it together in this fashion?
With summer almost here I thought I'd bump this thread. This could be very helpful for those of us that battle the heat to make great beer.

Couldn't you just build an insulated box to store your carboy. Then use a coil system with a compresser that utilizes pressurization and release of a gas to act as a heat sink for the air in the insulated box? You could probably rig up some kind of system so that when you open the door to the box, a little light comes on...
Glad I found this thread. This was an idea in my head as I was pondering how to control my fermentation in my garage, while keeping it portable. My twist is that I have a large 3 day ice chest sitting around the house, and built a small keezer already. With the extra space in the keezer, where i can't fit a fourth corny keg, will be filled is a water source. I'm thinking 3 liter bottles that I could put in series. Hook up my march pump to the bottles. The march pump will push cold water into the ice chest though a immersion chiller, which is laying in a layer of water in the ice chest. The chiller will cool the water, and pump right back into the keezer (cold water source). The other option is that i have two immersion chillers that will be in series that will directly in the wort. Overall, the pump will be controlled by a johnson controller, and probe attached to the furthest fermentation vessel. Considering that it will be a closed system, there will not be an issue maintaining a prime on the pump. The only issues that i see is overall volume of water needing to move in order to cool the wort down, and over cooling the first fermentation vessel if I chose to do the series of immersion chillers. I have everything needed except the the immersion chillers (35 each) and a second johnson controller(~$80)
I have been doing something like this for my 15 gallon conical. I have a stainless tubing coil attached to the lid. I pump ice water through it from a cooler sitting on the floor. I use an STC-1000 controller which cycles the pump off and on.
Funblock: - way cool!
You have a transmission cooler sitting in the fermenter? This idea is great, I will be doing this to regulate my ferments on my limited space/money budget.

A typical Saturday morning: the clocks rapidly nearing seven thirty.
A typical apartment complex located in upstate New York: not the most scenic of places, but thats what the park was for.
A typical female rockers room: shared by two strummers in a rock band.
A lazy, typical morning? A cell phones clock hit seven thirty
Blast off! Its party time! And we dont live in a fascist nation! Blast off! Its party time! And where-
A hand reached from one of the two beds towards the phone, located on a small nearby dresser, and slid the phone open; stopping it from finishing its track and repeating. From the bed, a young woman in her early twenties rose and stretched; blinking sleep from brown eyes. Seven thirty comes too soon
She ran a hand through her short brown hair and slipped out of bed: she wore loose purple pajamas. Grace, times wasting.
From the second bed, the other female, in her late teens in dark green pajamas with long light brown hair, rolled and faced the wall. Wake me later
Fine, be that way. The other female set one of the backup alarms on her phone, fixed the volume, slid it closed, and tossed it onto Graces bed. Being a still sleeper, Grace did not notice the phone landing inches from her ear. Grabbing clothing and a hairbrush, the female went for the door. Im hitting the showers.
Chuckling at her roommates reply, the female left their room.
The apartment was sizeable; two rooms, a living room, laundry room, and kitchen smashed together, two bathrooms, and a hall connected all five rooms together. The second shower was already going off as the female dumped her clothing and brush into the first bathroom and jogged for the living room.
The laundry area, with a makeshift but workable washer and dryer, was on the far side; the small kitchenette, complete with a place to cook food, eat said food, and wash dishes, a table and chairs, fridge and freezer, and a couple of folded up trays, was located on the other side. The door leading to the rest of the building was on the north-most wall, and the living room proper was set in the middle of the room, bearing a computer desk, computer, large TV, couch, a couple love seats, and a complete stereo sound system. Pictures lined what wasnt covered by mirrors, pots, or pans: a group of four posing under the words "Explosive Underbelly!", a group of three posing under the words "Explosive Underbelly", a group of four posing about the words "Explosive Underbelly", and several individual and partner shots.
The female raised an eyebrow as she spied the male youth, also in his early twenties, staring at the computer screen. His hair was spiked and a mess, with deep purple dyed tips, and he had a pair of pajamas that matched the color of the females. Al? Wait
you mean Sharkys taking a shower? Its the end of the world!
Very funny, Joc, the male youth, Al, turned to face the female, Joc. I think Graces bitter remarks finally got through his thick skull.
You know what they say about all bark and no bite, Joc said, shrugging her shoulders and grabbing a pair of bright yellow towels. You havent been up all night, have you? I could swear you went to bed before the rest of us.
Six. Was Als reply. Got a text from Lloyd to get on as soon as possible; was waiting and everything. Apparently Im being blamed for something stupid yet again.
Hes just paranoid, Joc insisted. You know how he gets.
Thankfully your twin isnt like him
Al frowned. Is that what this is all about?
Whats up?
When do I stop looking for bands and actually go our touring with you and John? Im rotting away here!
looks like hes finally getting bored.
Not surprised; he snaps eventually, Joc commented. Although John, Doug, Kristy, and Andres are still touring themselves, which is why Im with you guys in the first place. Give him the link to that singers convention in Trenton that I saw; maybe getting to sing with Osbourne again will shut him up for a few weeks.
Im on it.
Oh, and tell him to stop worrying about me! I know were engaged and all, but really! Im fine on my own!
Got it.
Oh, and our wedding songs going to be Journeys Anyway You Want It. With that, Joc left the room.
The bemused Al gave a chuckle. Lifes never boring with her around. Shell be giving Lloyd hell. He smirked. These next fifty years are going to be so awesome.
With that, he turned back to his chat with his fellow singer.
The cell phone alarm went off again: Blast off! Its party time! And we don't live in a fascist nation! Blast off! Its party time! And where the fu-
Graces screaming interrupted it: Im going to MURDER her!
Al shook his head, laughing. Life can never be boring with bassist Joc Michaels around.
Several screaming arguments and showers later, Joc, Al, Grace, and Sharky all gathered in the living room; the thirty year old drummer Sharky clad in black boxers, his long black hair and facial hair still dripping; the guitarist Grace wearing her green camouflage jacket, shirt, and shorts; the singer Al decked in a white collared shirt underneath a dark purple jacket and tie, white and purple bell bottoms, and gloves and boots matching his jacket; Joc in a purple shirt, pants, socks, fingerless driving gloves, and a blue-purple jacket and hat.
So, why did we have to wake up so early? Grace asked, still trying to rub sleep out of her eyes. Its Saturday. More importantly, its an every other Saturday.
Just because we arent going out as a band doesnt mean we should sit in all day, Joc insisted.
We can catch up on our sleep though! Grace insisted.
The clubs are still looking for solo players, Sharky interrupted. Other places are having competitions. Besides, dont we have an every other Saturday that lets us sleep in and another that gets us moving about?
Next week its business as usual today, and then the Saturday after that we can rest, Al summarized. Then its business as usual, and a day of practice. Thats what I remember agreeing to.
Hitting the karaoke bars? Sharky asked as Grace wandered over to the computer. Theres a place by the Heebie Jeebies thats hoping youll stop by.
Ill need to see what else is open.
I know Im hitting that bass convention, Joc said, rising to her feet and stretching. Just need extensions, mask, earrings, skates, and Im good to go.
Why dont you just, you know, grow your hair longer? Grace asked, flipping her own long hair.
Joc shook her head. Not me. Anyway, Lloyd and John would never recognize me. Any idea where my extensions are, anyone?
Jewelry box above washer, Sharky replied. I put it there so I could clean the place a bit.
So adamant about seeing this place spotless, yet he takes a shower once every month, Al commented, following Joc to the box and a pair of purple masquerade masks hanging on nearby hooks. Meanwhile Grace is the complete opposite.
I just finished cleaning up our room, the bassist commented, tossing Al his mask and taking her own. Its going to be a wreck again though. In no time.
What about you two? Grace asked. Youre not the best with hygiene yourself, Joc!
The other female shrugged. Eh, there are other things to worry about.
The singer copied the band leader. The rooms usually a disaster. Sharky doesnt mind cleaning up though.
The drummer nodded. Helps pass the time.
So, everyones going to be heading out? Joc reached for two pairs of purple peacock earrings and purple jeweled winged rings. Als are here
I dont see Graces or Sharkys accessories though
Lost in our room, Grace said absentmindedly. Ill find them before I go out.
I have a box in our room, Sharky added.
Fair enough
just need the skates, and Ill be good to go! Shall we meet at the usual place for dinner?
Who managed to worm money from Marcus this time? The female guitarist asked. Im broke.
Sharky shook his head. Im broke too.
I still have some money left over from before, Al commented. Ill pay. Five oclock it is? Ill see everyone then! Setting the earrings in place, he flashed his traditional smile, gave a quick wave, and left the apartment.
Sharky wandered back to the males room, talking about finding clothing and getting ready for the day. Grace turned back to the computer as Joc finished lacing up a pair of purple skates. Theres an instant message alert from John here.
Really? The leader skated to her roommate. What does he have to say?
Hey sis! The crew and I are heading home; Australia rocked! Times Square in a month!!! If youre not busy hope to see you there! Have fun and stay safe, bro. Australia, eh? The guitarist looked up. I didnt know John traveled that far.
He and Andres actually grabbed their gear, hopped into my bros beat up Blazer, and roadtripped the ride from here to St. Louis. Took em two days or so, but they had a good time. I couldnt do that; Im too used to the private jet!
Grace smiled. Yeah; now we can reach Europe! We need to get ourselves some roadies soon, right?
Tour London and get fans to earn yourself those roadies, Joc said. Then we need a Sound Guy, a Global Promoter, and work our way to China for the Rolling Stones Rock Immortal Challenge.
You and John already conquered that, didnt you? Grace asked. You should just use your connections in the band.
Yeah, his Explosive Underbelly did the challenge; Lloyd wasnt able to join us for that. And so the Michaels twins were the first twins to become rock immortals, or so The Zine claims. I think there are other twins out there, however.
Michaels is a pretty popular name. We probably wouldnt have half our fans if you and John werent as well known as you are now.
Joc shook her head. I dont get it; there are other, better bands out there. But Ill take whatever popularity I have with no complaints. And I have to say the four of us are getting a good name even without my bros support.
So, when do we hit the skies for Europe?
The leader frowned in concentration. Hmmm
John drilled into me how important it is to go visit the other clubs and arenas and gain fans, so I think well stay here and tour the US for the next couple of weeks. If Marcus can grant us a gas card, we'll take after my bro and roadtrip to the west coast and back. After our Saturday of sleeping in and relaxing, well head out for Dublin.
That sounds like a plan.
Girls were trying their best not to swoon as Al wormed his way through the busy New York streets. Pardon me! Coming through please!
Youre Al Makar, arent you? Hearing someone say his name made the singer stop and turn; hidden in an alleyway was a small female in a cloak hiding her body and all but her mouth. The mouth made a grin; a front tooth was missing. You are. Of Explosive Underbelly!? Formed by Joc Michaels?
I am
do you need something from me? The singer glanced around him; everyone was continuing on their normal way.
The laughter from the cloaked female indicated she was still a young girl. Oh, they cant see me. And they cant see you as long as you talk to me. Why dont we step somewhere private, however, so those who have the ears and can use the words against you dont hear?
Another glance confirmed the girls words, and although he felt uneasy stepping into a deserted alleyway, her words of those who could use the words against him unnerved him even more. With a small nod, he followed her into the darkness.
A dog barked, and there was the rattling of chains, but the two didnt pass anyone. After minutes of walked through the slim pathways between the various buildings, the girl stopped and faced Al again. We are safe from eavesdroppers here.
Who would eavesdrop on us?
The other side, the girl said, shaking her head. They who are responsible for all the bad things going on.
Bad things
you mean those stories The Zines been talking about? The musicians passing out on stage, vanishing, or both?
The girl nodded. Plenty has been going on, and the law can do nothing against it.
Not surprising
the police hates us
Al crossed his arms, thinking about how many times he had been picked up by the cops. Every time they arrested me, I wasnt even doing anything. Its just because Im a rock singer.
Fate chooses those who suffer the bad happenings, but only those chosen by fate can stop the madness that is soon to descend on us, the girl said. These happenings are only the beginning
Al stared at the girl; eyes shocked. W-wha
The girl bowed her head. It will get worse
much worse. If they have their way, everything and everyone will be ruined
rock and roll will be destroyed
no one will ever own their own minds again
The girl shook her head. You and your band are touched by fate
but if you act accordingly, you will be among the chosen sixteen to stop the madness and the ones who plan on unleashing it on us all
are you?
You and your friends must act accordingly
the world may not have enough time to wait for the next group of sixteen
you must act accordingly
The girl bowed, turned, and ran off.
H-hey! Wait! Al chased after the girl, but she was always two steps ahead of him.
By the time he exited the alleyways, he was right outside the karaoke bar Sharky had recommended; the girl had disappeared. People were waving to him as he scanned the surroundings
the girl long out of sight.
who was that? And what did she mean? He reached for his cell phone, and stared at it.
do I? After a final minute of thought, he replaced the small object and made his way into the bar; thoughts of fate and the band swirling around in his head.
How little idea he had
that from that day forward, the word typical would vanish from his and his bands daily life

Ban Bossy too Narrow: Let's Lean In to Teach Girls Courage
Earlier this week, Sheryl Sandberg's nonprofit, Lean In, together with the Girl Scouts of USA launched a public service campaign called Ban Bossy. Celebrities and CEOs are joining the campaign vowing to ban use of the word "bossy," a label believed to be so painful that fear of receiving it is at the root of girls' resistance to leadership.
Ban Bossy Website Info Very Helpful
The Ban Bossy website highlights the importance of teaching and practicing leadership skills, and features excellent resources written in a style that is concrete and actionable. The materials are downloadable for use by girls, parents, teachers, managers, and troop leaders, all with the aim of educating, encouraging and practicing leadership. Tips span everything from practicing thinking on your feet, to speaking up in class, to teachers and managers making sure to give girls and women the chance to step up. Girls are also taught the importance of setting goals and stretching beyond their comfort zones. There are a host of activities, games, and exercises that are easy to read and filled with simple graphics and smiling women and girls. The messages are both practical and sensitive, and can be easily adopted in our parenting, curricula and workplace.
But "Ban Bossy" Is Too Narrow
While Ban Bossy's promotion of leadership through its educational materials is excellent, the decision to reduce such a laudable leadership campaign to abolishing the use of the word bossy is a bit confusing, and risks obscuring the point of the campaign. Sandberg and the campaign materials assert that girls don't speak up - or have the confidence they need to set goals and stretch toward them - out of fear of being labeled "bossy." She relies in part on a Girl Scout study conducted by the Girl Scout Research Institute called "Change It Up."
Girl Scout Study Finds Girls Fear Social Rejection, Not Just Seeming Bossy
The summary of the Girl Scout data from the "Change It Up" study confirms girls' fears of leadership are indeed broader than that of being labeled bossy. The summary states,
"Barriers to leadership are consistent among girls and boys, but girls experience fears and inhibitions about social acceptance more acutely, in the form of stress, fear of talking in front of others, aversion to seeming bossy, and peer pressure."
In spite of these data, Ban Bossy selectively emphasizes girls' fears of being seen as bossy, a decision that is unexplained and misrepresents the totality of the findings. This narrow focus does a disservice by missing the other root causes of the problem - stress and social anxiety in general.
Teaching Courage Should Be the Target: Turning Sress and Social Anxiety Into Action

In a Tamil work of literature, a story is told of how a discussion was once organised, in which many scholars participated. One of them was a devotee of Lord Siva, and He described Siva's qualities to the assembled gathering. He said that Siva was seen in eight things- the Sun, Moon, the five elements- namely earth, space, water, air and fire, and also in all atmas. He has no death. He has no birth. He lasts always and always has the same qualities.
Devotees sing of Him. But He is beyond our reach and beyond description. True devotees of the Lord do not even seek moksha. All they want is to worship Him in temples. It is said, for example, that the Linga in the Madurai Meenakshi temple in Tamil Nadu, is older than even the Himalayas. When compared with other mountains in this world, the Himalayas are younger. The Himalayas are a recent formation due to tectonic activity,. So Madurai, the Lord's abode is even older than Mount Kailas. No wonder then that the Lord's devotees want to worship Him there, and even prefer places like Madurai and Chidambaram, famous for Lord Nataraja, the Cosmic Dancer, to moksha.
True devotees are so immersed in thoughts of Him, that to them all else in this world is unimportant, said K.Sambandan. If, while walking on the road, we were to see anything that glistens, our first reaction would be to think that it is perhaps a gold ornament that someone has lost. We may even try to take possession of it, if here is no one to claim it. But to one who has bhakti, a gold bar and a cake of mud have the same value. If such a one were to pass by a gold ornament, he would not even notice that it glistens. He will be indifferent to it.
And yet we cannot understand the Lord. That is because we try to analyse Him through our intellect. He can be known only through devotion, not through the intellect. Even scientists have professed their belief in God. Albert Einstein said, "Science without religion is blind." So while we must have regard for science, we must also realise that there are some things that even science cannot explain. So religion has a place too in life.
Keywords: Madurai Meenakshi temple, Lord Siva, K.Sambandan, discourse

There are few things people do for their health that are harder than losing weight and keeping the weight off. In this week's Tweet Chat, we looked for advice from the experts as well as the general public on how to set yourself up for success.
Join me for a Tweet Chat every Tuesday at 1 p.m. ET by logging into Twitter and using #abcDrBchat. Follow the conversation or jump in with comments and questions of your own.
Here are the top tweeted weight loss tips:
Tip 1: Ditch the Soda
"It takes 3 miles brisk walking to burn off calories from 20 oz. soda," tweeted New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Tom Farley. "Easier to avoid soda."
"Cutting out all sodas in 2009 is one of the best things I've ever done for my body," tweeted Kenlie @AllTheWeigh. "I dropped weight too."
Tip 2: Start Small
Make small changes you can live with and then build on that feeling of success.
"Make small consistent improvements to your diet," tweeted Dr. Cedric Bryant, chief science officer for the American Council on Exercise. "Better long-term success than radical, wholesale changes."
Tip 3: Write It Down
Keeping a food journal will help you become aware of what and when you are eating. You may be amazed at what you find.
"Never underestimate the power of food journaling," tweeted Marjorie Nolan Cohn, a registered dietitian and spokeswoman for the Academy on Nutrition and Dietetics. "It's one of the most tried and true weight loss strategies."
Tip 4: Have a Healthy Stash
Keep your pantry and refrigerator stocked with healthy food. If you get the junk food out of the house, you will have fewer opportunities to eat those empty calories.
"A terrific route to a healthy diet is to fill up on healthy foods, squeezing out the junk," tweeted Dr. Michael Jacobson of the Center for Science in the Public Interest.
Tip 5: Add Movement to the Mix
While changing your diet is most important, exercise can help.
"For adults, key to keeping weight off is daily exercise," tweeted Dr. Elizabeth Neary, a pediatrician in Madison, Wis. "Look for opportunities. Take the stairs whenever you get the chance."

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Text of report by Italian leading privately-owned centre-right daily
Corriere della Sera website, on 20 October
[Report by Dino Martirano: "Pisanu Sounds Alarm on Terrorism Possibly
Picking Up"]
Rome - A three way meeting involving [former Interior Minister] Beppe
Pisanu, [former Democrats of the Left (DS) Chamber of Deputies Speaker]
Luciano Violante, and [former Future and Freedom for Italy (FLI) member]
Adolfo Urso - invited to take part in a round table on the so-called
"lead years" by Rivista di Politica editor-in-chief Alessandro Campi.
Inevitably, a comparison was drawn with events that took place in Rome
on Saturday. According to Pisanu, who, when at the Viminale [interior
ministry], had ample opportunity to examine the make-up of
anarchist-insurrectionalist groups, "now there is a repeat of the same
conditions that can enable terrorism to pick up: violent youth protests,
brutal instances of marginalization, and the lack of social mobility are
fertile ground for extreme messages of violence." Pisanu, who was also
head of the Christian Democracy's [DC] political secretary's office at
the time of [former Prime Minister] Aldo Moro's kidnapping, c! alls on
the "institutions not to make the same mistake of simplifying things as
in the past." For Urso, instead, "[the protesters] are only hooded
individuals without any projects, legends, or heroes to extol." A
position with which Violante also concurs: "Let us not apply categories
that belong to the past to phenomena we as yet do not know."

At the end of last week I decided I was done decorating and only had the clean-up left and the extra stuff to put away. My last project was the simple, real garland on the stairs so I did that Saturday. But wait, I want to use this somewhere and I want to have that on display. So I end up adding more and tweaking things!!! So much for being done :)
Christmas tree in the den (where we watch TV) was done 2 weeks ago, but I just added the Santa x-stitch pic to the door of the cabinet the tree is sitting on. Love that picture! I love the 12 Days of Christmas and I'm a sucker for anything with that theme. So though the garland on the wall unit was done 2 weeks ago, today I added my latest 12 doc ornies (just card stock on a ribbon): The bedroom was looking a little bare of Christmas, so I hung some ornaments on the fireplace screen: The very simple garland (I have to leave the railing clear for my elderly parents). Please ignore the interrupted painting in progress!: Upstairs hall garland : Cute Christmas tree chalk board I just bought this weekend and then had to find a place for it: Okay other than making some white felt stockings, I promise promise promise, I am DONE!!!! |

Cool Decorating! The Santa Stitching is very pretty, and I just got that same red star you have hanging above the stairs! -SD |
I want that big star! Where did you find it? You've done a really good job and how thoughtful of you to consider the elderly when they use the stairs. I don't consider myself elderly just yet (close though!) but I'm clumsy and I could easily fall down the stairs. lol. I'm going to look for decorations on sale after Christmas. I thought I had way too many but ended up using them all! I especially like ornaments hung in a row. Good job! |
oakleyok: I just got that star at Marshall's last week. They come flat and you open them up and pull the string to keep them open. The good thing is when you want to store them, you can close them up again. Simple decoration. They were 3 or 4 dollars. I bought several in different colors. |

Your additions to your 'finished' decorating are so cool and really add to your overall look. If it is an illness I would much rather have it than some bad addiction. I tend to tweak, add and change right up until I am packing it away for the next year - lol Now that I am on Pinterest it will be even worse - I see an idea and know I have the 'stuff' and put something together and then need to find a place for it. I can't tell you how many mason jar candles and cone trees I have come up with - some are gifts tho so that helps get them at least out of the house. Just remember we are 'Enablers' - we are never done :D ..... Lynne |

It all looks so fabulous! The cross-stitch picture is wonderful, and I think I need to make one of those chalkboard trees. The fact that I have absolutely no place to put it should be a deterrent, but NOPE!! I need it, I want it, I have to have it! is my philosophy! LOL I love the real garland. Another option is to tie swags to the upright balusters. They are below the handrail so would not interfere with your parents hanging on to the handrail. Just a thought, I love what you already did! I'm thinking I also need a scrabble game! TFS, I think?? Candy |
Enjoyed all your pictures of your Christmas decor. Did you make your Santa x-stitch picture? It's beautiful. I tried that once but failed!LOL Your new calkboard Christmas tree is pretty neat. I've never seen one before.Nice The 12 Days of Christmas always calls to me too. Love that pitcher. Is it old? Love that you have elderly parents to share your Holidays with and your so considerate of them. Thanks for sharing. Punk |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Tue, Dec 20, 11 at 1:31
Lovely additions! Really admire anyone who can do those beautiful cross stitch pictures like yours. The chalkboard tree is great. Need to add that idea to my never ending to do list! It's all looking very pretty. TFS. Luvs |

"The fact that I have absolutely no place to put it should be a deterrent, but NOPE!! I need it, I want it, I have to have it! is my philosophy!" I think Candy just described the whole (sick) lot of us! ;o) Rafor, that cross-stitch is wonderful. I love all the ones you did for that matter. I like the ornies hanging in the fireplace (HOW did you hang them? I saw that in a photo on the web once and really liked the idea). Everything looks so pretty. I don't think we ever stop tweaking and adding more! I was thinking, maybe if I got started next JULY, I might actually get done with all the Christmas decor I want to do! (I told Mr O that when the old gal next door has to sell her house, she's 91, I need to buy it. He wasn't impressed, so guess he's not going to buy lottery tickets and try to get it for me someday. LOL) hugs, Karen |
Thanks for all the nice comments and for also agreeing with the fact that there is nothing at all wrong with our kind of "sickness"!!!! Karen: See the metal "drape" that pulls across the front of the fireplace screen? It's open in the picture and the ornies are hung by hooks on the track that the drape runs along on the inside of the fireplace screen. Hope that makes sense. phonegirl: yes I made that picture. I can't stand to just sit and watch TV, so I have to have something to do with my hands while I listen to TV. Used to do lots of x-stitch but now am often on the computer while I listen to TV. But I did just start an other elaborate Santa pic and it will show up in next year's decorations :) There are other Santa pictures in my earlier post. |

Everything is really pretty. You have been very busy. I know what you mean about keeping busy while you listen to the television. I do the same thing. If I don't keep busy with something, I fall asleep. I have learned to tape every show I want to watch. Happy Holidays! Marylee |

Woodland Hills, CA
I was very happy with this product at first because Kenmore is a reputable company and the cost equated great quality, however it has only been a couple of seasons and my cover is disintegrating. It is cracked and peeling and is essentially garbage now. I live in a location where it rains about twice a year and it has partial cover from the sun. I could have spent a fraction of the money with this type of quality. I'm very disappointed.

She was losing to Voegele in 39 minutes a couple of weeks ago.
She outplayed a Top 10 player for one half of the match, just lacked the consistency to pull it through. Her performance in the 1st set was close to the best she can play right now. She was great.
It impressed me that she didn't have problems to keep up in the rallies with Radwanska, after all this is HC.
She was basically finished after that 1st set which took visibly all her energy. But she has improved tons on Hard Court in comparison to last year and there is still some room for improvement left.

Karen, glad your package arrived ok. I'm surprised you already got it. I had tracked it and it said the 20th but we don't get deliveries here on the weekends so I figured it would arrive tomorrow. I'm thrilled that your happy with both of them. Sometimes one has to be careful what they ask for! Magpie, amazing how one becomes friends through cyber space. Boop, I did paint both of these. I had painted the snowman years ago. After PM sent me her address, I realized I couldn't send just a snowman! So I took a partial snow day from work and painted. Jeanne, was hoping this elf would be something she would like. Painting it purple had to help me.lol Nancy, so glad you like both of them. Lynne, it is amazing what the internet does for all of us. Thanks everyone for all your sweet comments on my painting. This was fun and I was hoping PM would enjoy her surprise when she opened it. Wasn't sure what to write on it when I started. As I painted a warm feeling came over me and I knew I wanted it to say something I hadn't used before. PM, thanks for the cyber HUG, straight from the heart. BTY. Wish I could of delivered your package in person to see your face. Punk |
That's Punk...Giving from the Heart! Karen, how wonderful to receive these. They are both so cute and the 'custom purple' touches are so 'You'! Actually the little Elf could very well be Punk herself. She's always busy, working away...I don't think she ever sleeps! These will be gifts to always treasure, and with a double meaning - They were made especially for you..and are from A Special Friend! jane |

What a wonderful surprise for you Karen. Did you notice that Punk painted that great tray especially for you in "half a day"--she is just the fastest painter I know! The shape of that tray is so unique, and I love the words too. Great job, Punk, both with your wonderful painting and in the selection of the design and words. ;o) That little snowman with the Montana cowboy hat will be a great reminder of your friendship too. Postage costs-- way too high, but the cost of putting a smile on someone's face--priceless! Luvs |
Oh wow, what a great friend you've made in cyberspace! Punk, that was so lovely of you to do such a thing, it epitomizes what this time of the year is all about. :) |

What cute things you make. Do you ever do craft shows? |
Thanks everyone for all the sweet comments. You are the best friends anyone could want. If I had more time, I would paint everyone something and send for Christmas. Williamsburgjane, I use to do craft shows years ago but only paint for fun these days. Punk |
Wow, Purplemoon, that is 1 terrific gift!! Couldn't imagine a purple scarf for Christmas but he looks so very festive & has such a cute face. The elf is adorable. You sure know how to paint, Punk!! Beautiful work & wonderful to gift your treasures to a friend, sounds like you really made her holidays this year because every time she passes those sweet faces she will think of you & smile!! Jan |
